Best soft serve - Edit
When we got there we received a small sample of soft serve: vanilla dragonfruit! It was so good!
Read moreOf course we got more of it!
The actual food was a little greasy, sounded healthier.
We got the strawberry avocado tacos (3) and the artisian roll which was cut like sushi. We expected something rolled like a burrito. Was good, but a little greasy.
Indoor and outdoor seating available.
Also sell some handmade goods like shirts and jewelry.
We would only come back for the soft serve!

All vegan!!!! 🌱🤩🥳 - Edit
First time in Kona and headed here straight from the beach. As soon as I was 👀 looking over the menu. One of the friendly staff members offered me an ice cream sample.. he smiled and said yes it’s vegan! 🤩😍! I said absolutely and then devoured the sample and ordered the omelette I’ve always struggled to make vegan eggs but this was delightful light airy texture filled with fresh tomatoes potato’s and some sauce. I do wish there was more sauce as it was delicious 🤤 then had to order a cup of ice cream on this hot 🥵 Kona day! Their hibiscus 🌺 tea was refreshing as well. The staff is super friendly. Highly recommend

Love this spot - Edit
Tons of fun options and have never had a bad meal here. A little pricey but to be expected in Hawaii with such thoughtful vegan dishes.

We absolutely love this cafe. The food was SO good that we had to visit several times during our stay. The items are a bit expensive, but this was definitely our favorite restaurant on the Big Island.

Delicious! - Edit
Really good vegan food in a small alley downtown. Portions were maybe a little small for the price. Also had the very best vegan ice cream!

Delicious gem - Edit
Amazing vegan food in a cute alley in downtown Kona. We had the compassionate pita and it was really good, and filling. Delicious Mediterranean flavours with unique combinations like a tahini and balsamic sauce. Check out the apothecary across the alley too!

Great Vegan Food in Kailua Kona - Edit
We had two dinners in this cafe, because the food is great and the service lovely. I recommend the journey classic pizza, the rainbow pita, the breadsticks and the ice cream.

About those five stars - Edit
Yes, fresh and healthful. Five stars for that! Four stars if you want to get enough food, three stars if you want to avoid going into debt, two stars if you can't find free parking, and one star if the mild ambiance of religiosity irks a bit.

Vegan Restaurant in the ❤️ of Kona - Edit
Amazing vegan restaurant in the heart of Kailua-Kona. I believe the menu changes based on what we saw in person versus what’s on HappyCow, so I highly recommend checking the online menu! We had the Feisty Journey Tacos, Sourdough Flatbread, and Kona Sunrise Wrap - all were lusciously full of flavors!
Read morePros: Feisty Journey Tacos, Outdoor seating available, Fully vegan!

Best vegan food that we had on the island! - Edit
We went here multiple times during our stay on this part of the island. The staff is wonderful! They were kind enough to stay open late for our party after my wedding ceremony.
Read moreWe've tried a good chunk of the menu. The Mac n cheese, pita wrap, pizzas, artisan rolls, soup/bread. I personally loved the Mac n cheese the best, I think it's the best vegan mac I've ever had. My family who are not vegan absolutely loved the falafel. Everyone was super happy with their food and the service!
The ice cream, cookies, and lava cake were delicious! Also the strawberry lemonade is so good!
I highly recommend Journey Cafe. They seem to have very steady business but we never waited too long. We had a fantastic time every time we went!
(There's also a cat cafe right around the corner!)
Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent falafel and mac n cheese, Everything was good!

Forgot my pizza - Edit
I loved this place in 2022.
Read moreFound was great but my pizza only came out after the others had eaten there good.
The cashier/waitress was overwhelmed
Consistency of the bread with
was variable.
Won't get pizza again since more like flatbread with toppings. Didn't like the BBQ flavor even though I got the classic pizza.
The salad was fine, I liked their pockets.

Pros: Food flavors
Cons: She took phone order after we had been waiting, Late arrival of food which I assume they forgot

Delicious! So good we went back twice. - Edit
They were giving vegan ice cream samples at the door, that helped get our non-vegan friends in the door 😉. Once we were in the sandwiches and salads were so good! Of course we ordered the ice cream dishes and cookies. Those non-vegan friends request requested we go back on another day, which we did!

Wow - Edit
This place is so good! We got the Journey Salad, Mac and cheeze upgraded to Mac Attack, and garlic knots. After a day on a plane we were so hungry! Food is fresh, big portions, staff so friendly and kind. Located in the middle section of little shops and was a little tricky to find because it’s not visible from the street or back paid parking lot (at least in the dark lol). Was so good we took more to go.

Funky and Delicious - Edit
Tucked in a little shopping area on the main drag by the beach in Kona this little cafe puts out some delicious vegan food. The macadamia nut based ice cream is incredible. We had a Sourdough pocket which was delicious. The salads are also very very good.

Tasty lunch! - Edit
We had the falafel salad and found it to be wonderful. The falafel is fried in such a way that its shell is very light, and the interior is less dense than usual too. A great garlicky dressing tops it all off.

So Good - Edit
Food is fantastic. My wife and I shared the Garlic knots, Mac n cheez, and the sourdough pocket. The Mac n Cheez and the Sourdough pocket came with a choice of tomato soup and bread or hummus and bread, so we got both. Everything was so flavorful. They also have a spinning wheel on the counter, we spun and won a 25% coupon. We came back later and got the Unicorn ice cream bowl and Açaí bowl, again, did not disappoint. I highly recommend when you come to the Big Island.
